It’s another packed episode as Kieran and Gary open with a scathing assessment of Ireland’s lacklustre showing against Armenia.

Did Bohemians act too soon handing Alan Reynolds and his staff new two-year deals before securing European football? And does anyone actually want those final European spots?

All that and plenty more in this week’s episode — proudly brought to you by our sponsor, QuinnAv.ie.

The lads are back from Lisbon and are keen to catch up on the latest LOI talking points from Dundalk's return to the big time to St.Pat's FAI Cup horror show and the launch of gov support for LOI acadmies.

 As the 2025 League of Ireland season enters the final stretch, Kieran & Gary break down Friday’s thrilling Dublin derby, John Coleman’s sacking, more unrest at Turners Cross, and the battle to beat the drop. 

In the First Division, Dundalk look to have one hand on the trophy – but how will they handle life back in the top flight, and will they be the only side going up?

We’ve got some making up to do after last week’s phantom episode — and we’re back with a bang. This week features fascinating audio with Joey O’Brien and Kevin Doherty.

Elsewhere, the lads break down a hectic few days across both divisions, from Sligo’s revival to Galway’s decline and Waterford’s defensive woes. In the First Division, Dundalk face some harsh words after their shock defeat to Longford.

Athlone Town’s newly-appointed CEO, Steven Gray, sits down for a frank and wide-ranging chat. The former LOI player and Shamrock Rovers academy coach gives his take on Colin Fortune’s controversial exit, the growing fan pressure on Ian Ryan, efforts to reconnect with the local community, and his plans to put the Midlanders on a sustainable financial footing.

Unfortunately, due to technical issues, we can’t bring you our usual show this week. After recording late into the night, the lads discovered their equipment had let them down even worse than Ireland did in Yerevan. If you missed it, make sure to check out last week’s fiery emergency pod from Armenia—and we’ll be back in full force next week.

 The lads are still fuming after Ireland’s disastrous night in Yerevan. Emotions are running high, and it’s gotten so bad that they’ve had to call an emergency pod. From the performance to the tactics (or lack of them), nothing is off-limits in this raw reaction.

Two League of Ireland sides are just one step away from the Europa Conference League group stages, so we’ve called in the experts.
